Meet the Musicians!
Aileen Conner is a rising sophomore from Lexington, Kentucky, studying Vocal Arts and Opera at the University of Southern California. She is involved in the Thornton Chamber Opera at USC and loves to sing various types of music. In 2023, she formed her community service initiative called “Elder Tunes,” where she performed for senior citizens with dementia and Alzheimers, inspired by her grandmother. She has placed in multiple state vocal competitions, including first in the Heartwood Teen Music Festival in 2022 and 2023. She is excited to be performing as a guest this year at the festival and hopes you enjoy your time. Listen to her music here!
Register for the Youth Music Competition!
We are always amazed at the wonderful talent of our contestants, and we love that they have so much fun at the festival in addition to the music (kids can play in the stream, participate in the chalk drawing competition, enter the obstacle course, etc.) Please register early!
